The Use of Gunite as a Structural Material A Survey of Developments, 1930 -1955

Twenty-five years ago gunite was a new material and was chiefly used for maintenance work on concrete structures and for protecting corroded steelwork. Today the most important use of gunite to the structural engineer lies in the systematic reconditioning of weathered reinforced concrete structures, by restoring them to a state equal to new and thus avoiding reconstruction.
